School mornings can start with an uncomfortable knot in your stomach, not knowing if your child will get up ready for the day ahead or stay in bed feeling overwhelmed and unable to go in.

Before long, it starts to affect every part of your day, from the stressful and unpredictable mornings to the evenings where everyone is exhausted, emotional, and just trying to get through without another argument or upset.

You are dealing with emails, phone calls, and meeting requests from the school, and it can feel like no one is really understanding what is happening or offering anything practical to help.

Over time, it begins to impact your relationships, your work, and your own wellbeing, and it can feel like your whole life has turned into one big juggling act. You are constantly trying to work out what you should be doing differently, how to stop things from getting any worse, and you are left with no idea what to do next or who to turn to for the right support.

And through all of this, your child is still struggling, with no one really understanding what is actually going on for them, or what they need.

That’s where we come in.

We sit in the gap between home and school, helping you make sense of what is really happening and turning what you are seeing at home into something schools can recognise and respond to. At the same time, we help you understand what school is saying, so it starts to make more sense and feels easier to manage.

At the centre of everything we do, is your child’s voice. Support only works when we understand how school actually feels for them day to day, not just what it looks like from the outside. That is why we build our work around what your child is telling us, alongside your insight as a parent, so we can get to what is really sitting underneath their behaviour.

We are here to help you understand what your child is feeling and what they need, so you can support them in a way that actually works, without it feeling like a constant battle.

Our aim is simple, to bridge the gap between home and school so your child can feel safe, settled, and able to cope in school.

This work is led by Michelle Bush, who brings over 25 years of experience in education, safeguarding, and parent advocacy. She has supported hundreds of families through similar challenges and understands how difficult it can feel for a family when their child is struggling with school and nothing seems to be helping.
